Who We Are

WV Tae Kwon Do is a registered Tae Kwon Do club of the United States Amateur Athletic Union (www.aausports.org), club number WVTWTDDKB8. Our district falls within Region 6 of the national AAU Taekwondo program.

We represent a network of Tae Kwon Do studios in West Virginia and beyond, all of which practice the Chung Do Kwan style. If you are new to the area and are interested in martial arts, we encourage you to visit the dojang closest to you.

Our mission is to promote the art of Tae Kwon Do in the states of West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania. We aim to provide a high-quality competition venue for all AAU members in this area who practice Taekwondo and to encourage other martial artists to consider becoming part of the AAU Taekwondo family.
